Do you really expect someone to step in and provide you with a well-coded, robust, generic, library-quality implementation of a bitstring search

No. Something more than unsubstantiated statements of opinion would be nice though.

Something -- pseudo-code, a link, a paper (on bit-string search) -- anything more than "I think...therefore it must be so", would be good.

I've stated what I'm doing; I've posted enough code to show how I'm doing it; I've posted a substantial table of the results.

I've explained (ad-neaseum) why I don't believe Boyer-Moore works for bit-string search; and all I've got in return is opinions. (apart from oiskuu who posted code that doesn't appear to work!)

I really think that until you've tried to implement this; you do not appreciate that trying to extrapolate byte-string search algorithms to bit-string search is fraught with problems that YOU haven't thought about. I have, because I done it!

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Agile (and TDD) debunked
